    INTERNET MULTICAST ADDRESSES

    Host Extensions for IP Multicasting [RFC1112] specifies the
    extensions required of a host implementation of the Internet Protocol
    (IP) to support multicasting.  Current addresses are listed below.

    The range of addresses between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255, inclusive,
    is reserved for the use of routing protocols and other low-level
    topology discovery or maintenance protocols, such as gateway discovery
    and group membership reporting.  Multicast routers should not forward
    any multicast datagram with destination addresses in this range,
    regardless of its TTL.

    These addresses are listed in the Domain Name Service under MCAST.NET
    and 224.IN-ADDR.ARPA.

    Note that when used on an Ethernet or IEEE 802 network, the 23
    low-order bits of the IP Multicast address are placed in the low-order
    23 bits of the Ethernet or IEEE 802 net multicast address
    1.0.94.0.0.0.  See the section on "IANA ETHERNET ADDRESS BLOCK".
